Strategy
By Martin Arlt[1]
The Trade Federation Battleship is the standard capital ship in the Trade Federation fleet. Its solid stats include a healthy power, armor, and forfeit. With four empty pilot slots to fill, this ship can quickly become a juggernaut when piloted by Neimoidian Pilots or "classic trilogy" pilots like Danz Borin. With space to carry 4 starfighters, the Trade Federation Battleship can easily transport its own armada of Droid Starfighters. This combination of ships is further encouraged by the deploy bonus Droid Starfighters get when they deploy at the same system as a battleship. The Trade Federation Battleship benefits from these starfighters by drawing a battle destiny if unable to otherwise when present with a fighter. This text comes in handy when you have a squadron of Droid Starfighters that lack the ability to draw destiny on their own.
Combos:
Neimoidian Pilots deploy free and activate 1 Force each time they deploy. How often do you have more active Force after your deploy phase than before?
Each player's ships are power -2 at systems where he doesn't have both a capital ship and a starfighter. Since Trade Federation Battleships and Droid Starfighters are meant to go together, you already have that covered. Does your opponent?
